Releases for the Week (May 14th-20th)

The Payne is back! Max Payne 3 is FINALLY going to retail this week after doing the “release date” shuffle for a while. But this week also has the first Game of Thrones Videogame! Did you pre-order your copy to secure the free HC artbook that will be made available on ebay for $100 later this week?

The Playstation Network will play host to Pixeljunk 4am, a game so trippy it made almost all other Pixeljunk games drop to the floor with their prices! Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode II is also coming down for the party, and Sonic and Tails are ready to run with the flow for as long as possible. We also get Rock of Ages, a game so crazy that it must be fun as well! Jam Live Music Arcade also seems like an interesting take on the rhythm/music genre since you can actually mix all available songs on the go, creating a unique experience every single time.

Myst — good times! We need HD remakes of the whole series, stat! (I know there is an HD remaster of the first one, which came out several years or more ago.) My wife and I (well, back when she was my g/f) spent countless hours playing those games together. So much fun. The entire list of video games my wife will play: Myst series, any version of pinball, and Starfox for the SNES or 64. Seriously, that’s it. Couldn’t even get her to bite on Flower or Journey.

Starfox on the SNES, at launch, just blew my mind. Sorta had voice acting, had this thing called “polygons”, they were “gourad shaded” and it was aaaaaawesoooooome. And when Donkey Kong Country released later, daaaaaamn.
